What vitamins are you taking?

I need some advice on bariatric vitamins. I am currently taking the Bariatric Advantage Mixed Berry flvor and I HATE THEM! They are so yucky and almost seem to fizz in my mouth...GROSS! :blink: I will take them until they are gone, but I want something different. Any suggestions? Also, what are you taking on top of your bariatric vitamins? B12? Biotin? What is your vitamin regimen?

I take 1 Centrum Multi Vitamin/Mineral (chewable) and 2 viactive calcium chews a day. Just had my blood work done and ALL of my levels were perfect.

I take a Flinstone chewable multivitamin and two calcium chews a day. The Flinstone's vitamin is pretty gross but tolerable.

I drink my vitamins in the form of what's called EcoDrink (I buy it at Costco). It's 100% of everything I need in a quick easy drink. Doesn't taste all that bad either. And all my blood work is awesome. :D

well... For Vitamins, I take Centrum chewables, Bariatric Advantage calcium citrate, E, D3, B-12 (sublingual), B-100, Biotin and Niacin.

supplements: Elderberry (to boost immune system), Glucosamine/Chondrotin/MSM, Black CoHosh, 5-HTP, Maca and an herbal hair/skin/nails support capsule.

You asked!! LOL Last time I had bld work drawn, everything was good. Due to have another set drawn fairly soon.

i take the bariatric advantage also but they are so gross i do not even take them sometimes which is not good do you usually take 1 or 2 because i was even forcing myself to take two?????

I take Origin of Life Complete Liquid Nutrition from Vitamin World. It taste pretty good and gives me all of my needed daily vitamins plus a boost of energy everyday.

I take one Flintstones chewable and 2 calcium chews. Maybe I am strange but I like the Flintstones vitamins. :)

My blood work indicated I am low on B1 so I need to find another supplement and add that as well.

I take:

multivitamin chewable

Vitamin D

Mega red Krill oil.

I take 2, but I easily forget because they are so nasty!!! I just chew them up real fast!

Thanks for all the responses...I am really looking forward to changing up!

My surgery center recommended a Multivitamin (any over the counter vitimin; the ones at Walgreens are as small as an asprin) and a B complex Vitamin (but I have to cut that one in half).

I use a liquid multi from GNC called miracle 2000. its pretty nasty but its only 1 shot in the morning and it has EVERYTHING!

I really like my vitamins and calcium! I use Reviva liquid multivitamin (tastes like a liquid flintstones vitamin), and Reviva liquid calcium with vit. D. The multivitamin also contains a fruit/veg complex and as much fiber as an apple. I also take GNC omega-3 chews. I cannot recall if I get my vitamins and calcium at Costco or BJs, but it's one or the other...

I take:

  • One-a-Day Gummies (2 per serving) sours.
  • Citracel petites for calcium and some D
  • An extra D capsule (because I'm allergic to the sun) - I also have sublinguals if I'm feeling too tight to take a capsule
  • Biotin sublingual
  • B12 sublingual
  • CoQ10 sublingual
  • Omega 3 and 6
  • Iron every 3-4 days
  • I'll start taking my Magnesium and zinc when I feel comfortable with the pill size.
  • Acidophilus (the good stuff in yogurt) because pill form is used better by the body than from yogurt (and I don't eat yogurt)

One of my specialist Drs (unrelated to WLS) suggested I stop extra C (causes kidney stones) and E (increases the probability to have a stroke) and as a vegetarian it would be unlikely I'd ever run low on either of those.
